Wow. The "AS x" part consistently wrapped to the wrong line, for no good reason at all.
If that was the influence of the Dark Emperor, then it fits; if it was the works of young SQLwalker, then he wouldn't be better than his father.

Morals: The only sure bet about rebellion is that manners get worse. Otherwise, it's usually just figurehead shuffling.

"commanded a dearth of Darth's that" If there weren't any Darths how did any of them own a "that"?

wikt:dearth:

dearth (plural dearths)

1 (Can we clean up(+) this sense?) A period or condition when food is rare and hence expensive; famine.
2 (by extension) Scarcity; a lack or short supply. [quotations ▼]
3 (obsolete) Dearness; the quality of being rare or costly. [quotations ▼]

So, while there weren't enough Darths, there were some. And the few that there were owned "that".

It was a time a great sadness. You can tell because the WHERE clause tells you by referencing a particular emoticon primary key and the FROM clause has totally messed up whitespace. If you are going to break the FROM clause into multiple lines you could break it at the JOINs or even the ON, but never at the AS!

You can have a murder of crows, a squad of squid, or a dearth of darths.

Also, darths are rarely found in groups larger than two (because they advance in rank via fratricide) so dearth is entirely appropriate.

More appropriately, by dominicide. (Slaying of one's master / lord, although given the nature of the Sith, "tyrannicide", the slaying of a tyrant, might be appropriate at the highest levels.)

Fratricide is for removing the competition. (By origin, "fratricide" refers to the slaying of a brother, just as patricide is slaying of the killer's father, filicide is the slaying of one's own child, and infanticide is more generally the slaying of any child. So fratricide would involve eliminating those at the same level as yourself, so that they don't compete with you anymore. To take your superior's job (implied in "advance in rank"), you have to kill him. Fratricide only helps if you need to eliminate a colleague who is ahead of you in the race.

I'm not usually a grammar nazi (for instance, firefox's spell check just helpfully reminded me how to spell "grammar"), but that was horrible. Figuring out wtf the article was trying to say wasn't nearly worth the payoff.

No. There wasn't enough "that" of a guy named "Darth", but the little of "Darth's that" that was there was commanded by the evil CEO. Simple.

Captcha: praesent - this post was being written in the praesent tense.

Easy: null is a broken bar or pipe "¦", meanwhile FILE_NOT_FOUND is a vertical line "|".
But I don't know how to distinguish between uppercase NULL and lowercase null. uppercase pipe, maybe?
FILE_NOT_FOUND is always uppercase, by the way.

Fascinating, but how am I supposed to use that information in any practical way ever?

It's hardly my place to advise you on how to usurp my position of power, is it? And if you are competing with me for a place on the next rung up, I'm hardly likely to help you there, either.

But anyway, there are several hints on how to get ahead in an organization that requires you to commit some sort of assassination in order to advance.

I could also speak of not bothering to waste time with weaklings, and of concentrating your attention on (1) the current owner of the job you want, (2) those who stand in the way, and (3) those close behind who put you into category (1) or (2). If you have a distaste for fratricide, then you have to concentrate on group (1), with the proviso that you must dispose of each member of group (2) as he becomes a member of group (1), seeing as how assassinating the member or members of group (1) is dominicide rather than fratricide.

And now you are on your own.

I find it more effective to help my boss take out his boss, then fill the vacancy myself before my now underling knows what happened. Of course, my first order of business is to eliminate him because he's a proven threat. The best maneuver is to have them take each other out, but that's not always possible.

I need to know what values permId can have, given that permission is the real id used for joins. Is permId a string? Also, since permId is shorter than perm_id by one letter, can I safely assume that emoticons have no noses? :)
